+# About
+
+VyOS is an open-source network operating system that provides a single unified
+CLI and API to manage routing protocols, firewall and NAT, QoS, load balancing,
+DHCP and DNS servers, and many other features.
+
+VyOS runs on a wide variety of commodity hardware, virtual machines, and
+multiple cloud environments.
+
+We provide a dedicated user guide for each major
+VyOS release that receives long-term support (LTS). We maintain multiple user
+guide versions, all hosted at <https://docs.vyos.io>.
+To switch between versions, select the appropriate version in the bottom-right
+corner.
+
+VyOS CLI syntax may vary between major and sometimes minor releases. Always
+refer to the documentation matching your current running installation. If
+a change in the CLI is required, VyOS provides a migration script to handle
+the syntax adjustments. No user action is required.
